Chelsea has signed a variety of players in the last few transfer windows splurging almost a billion. However, the 24-year-old Conor Gallagher was not among those purchases. Instead, he has been a part of the Chelsea squad since 2008, as a youth player. It was only in 2019 that the midfielder earned a promotion to the senior team.
The Surrey native hails from a family of football fans, and his parents were Chelsea FC fans even before he started his career. Conor is the youngest of four sons, and his siblings are also footballers. Gallagher met the love of his life Áine May Kennedy roughly five years ago, which probably coincides with the time that he made his debut for Chelsea FC.

Conor Gallagher is right amongst those talented superstars England has picked and the fans would have massive expectations with the 24-year-old.
The closest England ever got to the Euro glory was in 2020 when they finished as the runners-up. Four years later, the team aims to go all the way and bring back their first international trophy since the 1966 World Cup.
